Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales

At first i was hesitant because, altough i love Gwent, an RPG based around it didn't catch my atention, oh boy I was wrong. This game did not only surprise my by its story (it's CDPR what do i expect but a great story!) but it made me fall even more in love with Gwent. With over 50 hours i this game, i've enjoyed every single one of them. To conclude, if you love the Witcher universe, this game is for you!

The game is awesome music, story, choices, art etc. I really enjoyed the game but for me the 2 last acts felt too long like the pacing felt weird to me. Enjoyed the end tho, not the last battle. Fck the last battle.

Positive: quality work overall. The voice acting (I have played with English & German language as well) is great, the art direction, models are great, the world has a great atmosphere. Long and detailed story, many options many small things to explore. Great writing, funny moments, even Hearthstone easter egg. Immensive, very, very much. Mostly excellent "Puzzle" card games which are always welcome to train your brain. You'll literally can't stop playing just because you want to know how things turn out. And of course, GWENT the best card game ever :). Your choices have outcomes and not always sunshine and rainbows! Negative: too many "Standard" battles and too easy battles. They feel like doing chores.

Some of my PC spec. CPU: AMD FX-Series FX-8350 4,0GHz GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 8GB RAM: 16GB I have not finished the game yet because after 33h (got to Act 4) I got to frustrated by the bugs and some card designs, that I can't be asked to finish it right now. The games story and how it is told it great. It is dark and it feels like a witcher game. The characters and the dialogue are good and the chooses the game gives you are interesting and sometimes hard to choose from. One lesser evil for another. But there is some really annoying bugs and problems in the game right now. I would recommend you to go to the forum and see what the state of the game is before you buy it. As of now when I write this the game stops to work if you look in you deck and then end/pass the turn. Sound is still working but nothing happens, the enemy is not taking it's turn and you can't click on anything. The game keeps stuttering sometimes when you are walking around in the world and when you play gwent it stutters after you press the end/pass button for a few seconds. soem peopel say that you can fix this by turning off some online setting but it did not work for me. Some cards are worded very poorly or do not work as intended. One example is that there is a card that will get a buff for each enemy card that takes damage but if you use a card that deal damage to more then one card it only regester as 1 instead of the x cards you damage. So I recommend you to look in the forum before buying it but if you are a person that can live through the frustration go for it, it is a good story in the game.

Numerous bugs aside (some freezes here and there and a bugged unsolvable puzzle) this is a fantastic RPG game. Love the atmosphere, setting and story. 5 stars if they fix all the bugs and glitches.
